Assuming Ireland is fired, any new GM likely is going to come in having not "done jack". Unless they hire a retread GM who would have failed and been fired at a previous stop (guys like Polian and Peterson). The downside with the retread GM is that they likely would want their own head coach pick, which means a complete blow up of the front office and coaching staff. However a first time GM, like a Brian Gaine type, might be more inclined to stick with the current head coach. The thing is, if Ross makes a change at GM after this season(still a big if imo), it is probably going to be a first time GM and not a Polian or Peterson type. The question is, what makes Gaine any less qualified then a first time GM from another team like the Packers or Steelers?

If we finish 6-10 then Ireland has to go. I think he has to go anyway. But the concern will be if we get rid of him will a new GM want his own people? One route we can take is to promote Brian Gaine. I dont know much about him other than he came from Dallas but it would insure that we keep philbin and tannehill. Another option would be to hire Carl Peterson who was a big reason we hired Philbin and said it was the best job interview he has ever been involved in so he wont get rid of philbin. Or peterson and ross can conduct a search and hire somebody new under the conditions they keep Philbin and Tannehill.

The fact that our free agent acquisitions have on the whole been poor. Presumably whatever GM we hire will at least have a track record of success in their previous role.

Gaine has the stench of Ireland all over him. Carl Peterson will be the GM next season.
